I can't think of a worse punishment than being trapped in Buffalo

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago

cruel and unusal punishment

I don't know, sometimes I need my ass blasted out and Buffalo wings are the second best thing for doing that.

[–] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I'm afraid to ask what the first best thing is.

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lately? Lettuce, jalapenos, and eggs.

theres a soprano's/ artie buco quotes that would be hilarious here, but is too vulgar even for me

I'd say I dodged a bullet but I'm the one who opened this Pandora's box.

Fun fact, commercial air travel is responsible for 2.5% of all CO2 emissions

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

Children of Kali, I've seen what you've done for others. timmy-pray

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 41 points 4 days ago

this is what happens when you let the kids borrow the airport for the weekend. they return it completely empty sunda night and you've got work in the morning.

So we are really going to do the quiet collapse with oil huh?

sicko-jammin me dancing as the empire crumbles

sicko-no when i realize i live here

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

The Roman citizens were not told the empire collapsed, they just noticed the roads stopped being repaired.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago

Maybe the planes should eat ramen and get a second job.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Seems good to me. Love watching the empire undergo rapid collapse in real time. It starts with Buffalo but may it expand at lightspeed to all other US Airports

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

no, it's not a shortage, it's an act of surprise war conservation

porky-happy To demonstrate our patriotism in these tumultuous times in the Middle East, we're proud to announce MAGA Class Tickets!

doggirl-hi MAGA Class? What's that?

porky-happy Well, everything is exactly the same as our current lowest tier tickets: except you get to bring your own jet fuel. And if you want to pay an additional $75 upcharge you can be part of MAGA Plus+, which is the same thing but you need to bring enough fuel for the business class passengers too.

Can't the planes just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

Buffalo aircraft buffalo buffalo aircraft buffalo fuels

[–] miz@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

fuck, I had better fill up my jet.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

It's crazy Buffalos get a whole airport to themselves. I don't think that's a great use of fuel anyway.

[–] tenchiken@anarchist.nexus 15 points 4 days ago

This kills the airplane.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

Strategic oil reserves down to 40 days. Lowest since the early 80s.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The internet indicates this isn't them being out of fuel it says it's an electrical problem with the fuel pumps or some shit
